must be locked out until such time the partitions comply with the additional
safety requirements.

Regulation 155.25 was granted as a result of submitting a waiver request,
it means that an extension was granted to install required equipment.

implemented IMMEDIATELY by all schools regardless of waiver, waiver request
status or status of project to implement safety upgrades to existing folding
partitions.
